In which quarter house in Ostrava?

For your stay in the Czech Republic, finding accommodation will not be difficult. Here are the best areas to sleep in Ostrava!

Third largest city in the Czech Republic after Prague and Brno, Ostrava is a city located in the east of the Czech Republic, in Silesia – a historical region shared between Chequia, Poland and Slovakia. The city has 294,200 inhabitants, spread over 214 km2. Economic, industrial, commercial and cultural city, Ostrava is the industrial heart of the Czech Republic, attracting expatriates for its economic prosperity. Its historical and cultural heritage also attracts many visitors and tourists. Ostrava is also a very young, student city, so there are always things to do in this great city of the East – like the festival Colours of Ostrava , which takes place in July.

Ostrava is not yet a very touristic city, there is not yet such a large offer of accommodation as in Prague – Airbnb remains a good solution to find a good plan. Staying in Ostrava is not complicated when you know the right neighborhoods: that’s why we tell you the best areas to sleep in Ostrava, so your experience in this great Silesian city is exceptional!

Historické jádro, the historic centre of Ostrava

Downtown and historical district of the city is surely the best place to stay in Ostrava: you have a central position, you can easily access the cultural monuments and animations of the city, on foot or by public transport. For example, you can stroll around the city centre, walk along the Ostravice docks (which gave its name to the city) and then go to the castle of Ostrava ( Slezskoostravský hrad ) – the possibilities are numerous!

In addition, it is in this area that the city’s entertainment is concentrated: bars and restaurants, where locals, students and visitors are visiting! Finally, to get there or to leave, know that the central station of Ostrava is located in this neighborhood: you will not have to carry your luggage far.

Jindřiška

Just north of Historické jádro is Jindřiška district. More quiet and more residential, but still close to the historic city centre, it is in this neighborhood that there are two of the main art galleries of the city as well as the large Komenského sady park in the Lázně neighbourhood – a huge green space on the edge of the Ostravice. You are not far from the station and all historical monuments – always accessible by foot or by public transport!

Salmouna

Like Jindřiška, staying in Salmouna will allow you to stay close to the historic centre and its tourist attractions, while avoiding the hustle and bustle that reigns there! This area is located on the other side of the central station, where there is a large green space – Sady Dr. Milady Horákové Park, to relax – as well as a few universities and the main hospital in the city. Guests staying in Salmouna are a 15-minute walk from Historické jádre, and many restaurants and bars, and a 30-minute walk from Ostrava Castle.

Muglinov

This neighborhood is a little more excited than the previous two, much more residential as well. It is very quiet and perfect to live for a longer period of time – we suggest you choose a accommodation close to the centre and the Trojické údolí district, where is in addition to the castle of Ostrava, a huge park and green space!
